First a couple of updating news sources:
VoxCNN
Right now details are scarce except that it is known that the shooter is in custody, there are multiple casualties and that police and congregants both are among them.
Please do not turn this into a battle over who is the most anti semitic, please keep it to the event and the motivations of this particular shit head if possible.

This is just so awful. I can’t believe shit like this is still happening.
I’d go with that number then. The video is from a while ago, so it’s likely the death toll has risen.
And fuck everything about this.
Suspect a "heavyset white male." Name is Robert Bowers. I have previously seen him reported as being 46 years old.
Indeed, I did not. Edit: and shall not.
Don’t describe, relay or report it either. I would think that was obvious.

I started this week angry, and it looks like I'm going out of it angry
Twitch (I stream most days of the week)
Twitter (mean leftist discourse)
Ok. I know better than to post links and shit, I didn't realize discussion of that nature was also unallowed. I'll wait until it's on major news sites.
After what happened with the Boston bombing it's a rabbit hole we don't go down.
Come Overwatch with meeeee
He's the worst and will always be the worst.
Edit: Video of Trump's comments from Baltimore Sun reporter:
Oh wait.
Holy fucking shit is the baby okay?!
CNN and BBC are saying the shooter surrendered and is in custody/at a hospital. That's kinda rare for this sort of thing.
He has mainstreamed white nationalism to such a degree that many people think anti-Soros conspiracy theories are just ordinary conservatism. Which I guess it is now.
From The Guardian. The header image on that account was a 1488 picture. Account itself was full of anti-semitism, lately focused on a Jewish organization supporting migrants/refugees.
Gab itself is the Nazi alternative to Twitter. You know, for the 12 Nazis Twitter doesn't tolerate and endorse.
Fuck off, god I hate him so much
Now that this is confirmed, some details of what was posted, etc. Click here, but obvious warning for what you'll see
God I'm so fucking mad.

...if you need me, I'll be off beating my head against the wall and screaming into the twisted nether.
Apparently we live in a world now where if you get shot, it's your own fault for not being able to fight back, and we should totally have to put armed guards in our places of worship.
He could at least try to appear to have a soul or any sort of empathy in public before he gives the obvious dogwhistle.
I can only imagine the bloody murder he'd be screaming if this had happened at a church instead of a synagogue.
I can has cheezburger, yes?
Even the armed guards wouldn't help considering this guy apparently managed to kill three armed police officers who were very ready for him.
CNN (at the link in the OP) is reporting that 4 officers are injured but not in critical condition.
They did get shot but it’s unlikely to be fatal.
The same cannot be said of the other victims.
His social media postings suggest that he's not a fan of Trump (like somebody else already mentioned, he's not outwardly racist enough) but he is insanely anti-immigrant and his final post before the attack was a reference to this. I'll bet this gets picked up on in the media as a motive. There's been A LOT of anti-immigrant hate for a while and even very recently with the latest caravan from Central America.
Also CNN is reporting that Trump is talking about canceling his rally tonight. So, he'll cancel the rally for a mass shooting but not multiple assassination attempts on his political enemies by his own superfan? That'll go over well.
...if you need me, I'll be off beating my head against the wall and screaming into the twisted nether.
...just what the hell was this chucklefuck packing, and how'd he get ahold of it?
I can has cheezburger, yes?
NBC News reported that he was armed with an "AR-15-style rifle and multiple handguns", I don't think anyone knows for sure how he acquired them but they sound like legally purchasable firearms
